Sunday 23rd March 1941

A good day. Windless and sunny. We had time to improve our dug-out; to put on a better roof, dig out six inches of dust and muck from the floor and to make cupboard recesses in the walls. We also scrounged water and each had about 2 pints of hot water for a thorough bathe.

An experiment is being tried – vehicle cooking instead of the usual troop arrangements. So far it's been a success. Grant was cook today and we had more grub, better cooked than before.
